Mother arrested in Manila bust tara hadden-watts living in Philippines with gangster by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter Colleen Flanagan/the NewS

The sister of a Maple Ridge woman paralyzed in a gang shootout has been arrested in a raid in the Philippines targeting Canadian drug traffickers. Tara Hadden-Watts was taken into custody Wednesday in one of three separate raids on posh condominiums in Manila. According to the Associated Press, police seized a large stash of cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA worth more than 100 million pesos ($2.25 million). “This is the first time we have encountered a syndicate composed of Canadian nationals,” said Rommell Vallejo, chief of the Anti-Organized and Transnational Crime Division of the National Bureau of Investigation. Police allege the Canadian suspects have alleged links to a Mexican cartel and are undercutting Chinese traffickers dominating the local market. Vallejo identified the suspects in custody as James Riach, Ali Shirazi, Barry Espadilla and Tristan Olazo. See Cartel, p5

‘Jassi, mother loved each other’ Not enough evidence to extradite, says lawyer by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

There is not enough evidence to ship the mother of a Maple Ridge woman murdered in an alleged “honour killing” to face trial in India, her lawyer stressed Wednesday in Vancouver Supreme Court. Malkit Kaur Sidhu’s daughter Jassi was killed in June 2000 in

the Indian state of Punjab after she married rickshaw driver Sukhwinder ‘Mithu’ Sidhu against the wishes of her Canadian family. Sidhu, 64, and her brother, Surjit Singh Badesha, 68, are fighting extradition to India, where they’ve been charged with conspiracy to commit murder. During final arguments, however, Sidhu’s lawyer David Crossin told Justice Gregory Fitch the evidence was not sufficient to show she “aided, abetted or counselled Jassi’s murder.” “There is no evidence that Mrs.

Sidhu hired anyone …” said Crossin. “There is evidence of Mrs. Sidhu expressing frustration and disappointment about Jassi’s marriage. A Sidhu reasonable jury, properly instructed, would not find Mrs. Sidhu guilty.” In fact, noted Crossin, the weight of the evidence shows

that “Jassi and her mother loved each other.” The daughter of wealthy blueberry farmers, Jassi Sidhu met her husband Mithu on a family trip to India and carried on a clandestine long-distance romance with him until they were secretly married in 1999. But when Jassi’s family learned about the marriage, they insisted she divorce Mithu. Indian authorities allege Jassi’s mother also travelled to India in late 1999 or early 2000 and threatened Mithu’s mother and his friends. See Extradition, p13

Defeating stigma of dementia S tor y by Neil Corbett

yrna Norman was going to have a bit of “fun” with her carload of grandchildren. A steep hill in front of her, she started down, and put the pedal to the floor.

She remembers their excited exclamations as she pushed the car as hard as it would go. She recalls it with eyes wide, her hand covering her mouth, with unspoken thoughts about how wrong it could have gone. Thinking back, Myrna can’t believe it was her doing it, or some of the other things that made her children worry about her. But eventually, she got an explanation, and she can speak frankly about it. The Maple Ridge senior is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, but confronts one of the most feared diseases of old age head-on. There is a powerful stigma attached to the minddestroying disease, but Myrna discusses her behaviour and limitations with not a trace of embarrassment. More understanding of this disease is crucial, because the Baby Boomers – that massive post-war generation that is now sometimes called the Grey Wave – is reaching an age where more will be hit with Alzheimer’s and other dementia. At a December conference in England on dementia, health ministers from the Group of Eight industrialized countries vowed to find a cure or treatment for the disease in 12 years. “The summit is driven by an increasing realization of the impending tidal wave of dementia as populations are aging worldwide,” noted Andrew Sixsmith, an SFU Gerontology Research Centre director. “Indeed, the issue may be most pressing in the developing world, where we will see the biggest increases in numbers of older people by 2050.” The cost to the health care system will be in the billions. Last month, the Canadian Medical Association, which is urging a national strategy on dementia, noted the $33 billion annual cost of dementia could rise to $300 billion per year by 2040 – more than is spent on health care in Canada at present. There is a personal toll being taken daily on people and families affected but dementia. Myrna recalls another time when she took the kids into the city to go skating, and got lost on the way home. She had about 20 minutes that were unnerving. She remembers a good cussing session with the grandchildren, too. They thought it was great. Their parents didn’t. Anyone can get lost, people will tell her. Anyone can lose a word or forget a name. But she knew this was different. “It’s like a blackout,” is how she describes it. Myrna made a trip to Vancouver, one she had done many times, but it was that journey that convinced her something was wrong. She almost ran over a flag person. She put her car in drive instead of reverse, and nearly went through a store wall. The car was at a dead stop on a hill, but she had the sensation that the vehicle was rolling backward. She

started screaming – “It was real to me.” “I knew at that point, something was wrong.” It was about four years ago she was diagnosed with dementia – cells are dying in the frontal lobe of her brain. It is a fatal disease, as the brain eventually loses its ability to control organ function. “To be diagnosed with something so devastating – you get all your I’s dotted and T’s crossed,” she said. “I went home, and went into despair for three days.” She and husband David sold their house, and she surrendered her driver’s licence. Today she is more positive. The early diagnosis was a gift, and the disease has been slow-moving. She is on the right medication to clear her thoughts. Myna was having hallucinations, she describes them as “masses of colour,” but they are also controlled now by meds.

••••• Herb Bryce was looking everywhere for the television remote control, but it was just not to be found down the couch or under a cushion. Eventually, it turned up in the refrigerator freezer. Such was life with his wife Ann, in the early days of her Alzheimer’s. “I noticed she was not fighting me for the crossword anymore,” he said. And she stopped picking up books. She had always been an “inveterate reader.” They visited a doctor, who gave her a mental exam. He gave her three words to remember. Then they talked for a bit, and the physician asked what the three words were. She could remember only two of them. “She was very tense and agitated, and I was leaping to her defence,” he remembers. They didn’t want to hear the diagnosis. In 2011, Ann took a “nose dive.” She wasn’t able to perform basic tasks anymore.

• 70,000 British Columbians live with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. • 15,000 new cases are diagnosed in B.C. each year. • 996 people had been diagnosed with dementia in Maple Ridge in 2011. • 39 per cent of British Columbians know family or friends with Alzheimer’s. • By 2030 there will be an estimated 1.4 million Canadians with dementia. • More women than men, 61 per cent of sufferers, get dementia. • Worldwide, one in three people will get dementia. • 52 per cent believe there will be a cure within the next 10 years. The Alzheimer Society has a workshop in Maple Ridge on Feb. 12 at the Maple Ridge Senior’s Centre (12150 – 224th St.) from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. She was confused by a clock. She asked her son Crispin, “What’s that?” Now she is in a home. He writes about his experiences with his wife. He has documented an almost clinical record of his experiences. Confusion, denial, frustration at burned kettles and dinners, and recognition. “It’s devastating. Because she was a rock.” He remembers her unshakable competence at whatever she applied herself to.

Cops say Wolf Pack decimated Cartel from front

The men could face life in prison if convicted. Vallejo told AP that Espadilla’s wife – Hadden-Watts – was detained in the third condominium. Espadilla and Hadden-Watts have a young son. According to B.C.’s gang task force, Riach and Espadilla are part of the Wolf Pack, a coalition of gang members comprised of Red Scorpions, Hells Angels and Independent Soldiers. Both Riach and Espadilla have lengthy criminal records in B.C. Hadden-Watts’ younger sister, Leah, was in an SUV with Riach and Hells Angel Larry Amero when Red Scorpion kingpin Jonathan Bacon was killed in 2011 in a hail of gun fire. The shootout left Leah paralyzed. Leah and Tara are the nieces of Haney Hells Angels chapter president Mike Hadden. Police won’t say if they were aware that Riach and Espadilla were in the Philippines. Const. Doug Spencer, a gang expert who now works with Transit Police, has known Riach and Espadilla for a long time. “They’ve been involved in the drug trade in the Lower Mainland for years,” said Spencer, who believes the pair relocated to the Philippines as their lives were in danger. “These guys have been at odds since the Gurmeet Dhak shooting in Metrotown in 2010.” The Wolf Pack’s plan to consolidate resources and corner the drug trade in B.C. have been scuttled by several recent murders. “It’s going to be like the Wolf Pooch,

just one of them running around,” quipped Spencer, who also works with Odd Squad Productions Society to steer young people away from gangs. “The U.N. are pretty much decimated, the Wolf Pack is decimated, the Red Scorpions in jail or dead and the Gurmeet Dhak and Duhre group also depleted. So you’ve got this big vacuum in the drug trade.” For the past year, however, Spencer says Odd Squad presentations have been targeting girls. “In the past three or four years, we’ve noticed women have been taking a far more active role in gang life. As a result, five or six of them have been killed,” said Spencer. “The gangs don’t tell them the bad stuff. They tell you all the bling, bling stuff. They will treat the girls like little princesses. Give them the Louis Vuitton purse, give them the cell phone, the apartment, the little dog … but it’s at a cost. They don’t realize that they are putting themselves in harm’s way.” The Odd Squad presentation also address what happens when a gangster, drug-dealing boyfriend gets murdered or goes to jail for a long time. Spencer says it’s a situation Tara Hadden-Watts’ finds herself in now. “She’s got a young son and the father is looking at 20 years or more in prison. For that amount of drugs, you could actually get the death penalty down there,” said Spencer. “I feel bad for this girl. She’s got a young kid. Her whole world has just been rocked and it’s stuff that she didn’t think about.”

Ann got into real estate and “outsold all the men.” He tells a story about how Ann was driving the kids across the Patullo Bridge every week to attend cadets. Tired of the commute, she starting asking why there were no Cadets in Surrey, found out what was involved, and soon formed a branch of Navy League Cadets, and it took off. He also felt depression and guilt. “It’s like a survivor guilt – she got it, and I didn’t. It should have been me.” Then came realization and resignation. “You know the score. It’s a fact. You can’t wiggle out of it, and she can’t come back again.” His wife remembers him, and they still have a relationship. “She greets me like I’ve been away at the wars,” he smiles. “She clings to me sometimes.” He enjoys the companionship from a group of Alzheimer’s caregivers, and learning about the disease. “I was a mess when I went to that class. I was an emotional wreck at that time. To see her deteriorating so rapidly ... it’s like something you see in a movie, not in your life.” The group also gives him an audience

for his writing. He’s done close to 100 poems about 36 journal entries and some short stories. It’s his way of coping. “It continues to work for me. That’s my therapy – my balance.” “It’s all ready to go somewhere to be published. I call it A Poem for Ann.” ••••• For Myrna, the diagnosis explained some of her behaviour, “and it gave me a chance to improve my situation,” she said. She has quality of life, good days, and bad days. “I like myself when I’m okay.” She meets with other local people who are also suffering from dementia, at meetings hosted by the Alzheimer’s Society at the Maple Ridge Seniors Village. She takes a leading role. Myrna was always a confident person, involved in her community, and still well spoken. She doesn’t mind sharing her experiences, even if it does affect how other people think of her. “There’s a huge stigma, but I have this disease,” she said. “And I’m not a religious person, but I do think that people have a duty to help others – that’s the most important part of our lives.”

‘A’ for effort

Advocates of a pilot project in Surrey School District elementary schools – designed to explore different ways for teachers to report a child’s academic progress – make a good case that there are constructive alternatives to the traditional report-card approach. But we won’t give them a pass on the most contentious aspect of the project – setting aside the timetested letter grade. The same program is being tested in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. What’s wrong with keeping letter grades, alongside the more conscientious summaries? Anyone who has been through our school system as a student or parent will recognize that the bald letter grade misses the finer points of an individual’s progress. Too often excellent work, heartening development and delightful expression is flattened, minimized, even suppressed by rigid alphabetic tyranny. Even attempts to shade the picture with pluses and minuses are inadequate substitutes for thorough evaluation. Tests and exams are not a fail-safe measure of what a student actually knows and understands, and offer scant recognition of individual’s learning strengths and weaknesses. And it’s frightening to contemplate how many positions of responsibility, in our 21st century world, are occupied by people who gained their qualifications by dint of cramming, regurgitating the opinions of others without developing any facility for critical thinking, and taking tests that have long since been all but forgotten. Yet, given the realities of that world – and the place we are preparing for our children in it – it seems unfair to deprive them of a key tool for progress. Even given the shortcomings of a traditional letter grade, it has endured because we need a short form of evaluation, as well as more comprehensive forms. It’s the reason that hotels and restaurants and movies receive star ratings – in the real world, few take time to read and balance all reviews. We worry, as well, about what will happen when a young student who has never received such a “summative” grade collides with more senior environments that demand them. Reform education by all means – but don’t threaten our children’s progress, or crush their expectations, through asymmetrical reform. – Black Press

Diverting discussion from slash pile F

ormer B.C. Hydro environmental consultant John Kelly says the Crown Corporation deserved praise for right-of-way clearing practices in the 1980s and 1990s, but a section of the new Interior-toLower Mainland Line failed to avoid environAlong the Fraser mental damage. We’d driven to Burke Jack Emberly Mountain in Coquitlam recently to view the clearing for towers 5071 to 5075, the tail end of the ILM’s 250 kilometers of towers and cables from Merritt. Kelly wanted to see what this site looked like after being frustrated by what he found at Millionaire Creek in the Malcolm Knapp UBC Research Forest in Maple Ridge. An environmental audit in June identified damage to the coho producer. It still hadn’t been repaired in November as spawning occurred. Other steps to mitigate impacts – reseeding of scraped off vegetation, and water diversion channels – were just being taken. Luckily, sunny weather delayed the rainy season. At tower 5071, at the base of the mountain, Kelly noted more failures to “avoid damage, and mitigate impacts.” He’d later report them to Maple Ridge stakeholders, including ARMS, the research forest and Rod Stott, environment officer for Maple Ridge. “Trees were felled and left across a stream,” he noted. Kelly thought they’d been cut a year ago, “but the mess is still here and the clearing contractor is gone. This is very poor con-

struction practice. Damage occurred when some trees were pulled out [by skidders].” ARMS favors the use of helicopters to remove trees – more expensive, but less disruptive. Further uphill, Kelly found a gravel tower pad “pushed into a riparian area at the base of the access road. This would increase erosion and siltation in nearby creeks. “There should have been a silt fence at the base of this slope.” Seeding with grass was present on one side of the access road here. “Why is one side treated and other not?” Kelly asked. “The exposed sites are subject to invasion by undesirable species. This will cause unnecessary maintenance and weed treatment.” Kelly says problems caused by right of way clearing and their solutions start with the clearing. “BCH used to manage the vegetation by removing everything that was growing down to the mineral soil,” he says. “It seemed the cheap and easy way to keep right of ways clear and safe. But we learned such was not the case. Problem species like alder and knapp weed thrived.” In the ’80s, says Kelly, “Hydro developed prescriptions that selected for low-growing species that would out-compete the fast growing, shade-tolerant ones. It began to rely less on herbicides.” Leaving nature alone preserved habitat for wildlife, and reduced the destructive impact of uncontrolled water flow. But, on Burke, after viewing merchantable trees left to rot, and surfaces scraped to the mineral line – practices that encourage erosion and sedimentation – Kelly felt the bad old days had returned. Near tower 5071, Kelly snapped pictures of an improperly placed culvert that could “eas-

ily become plugged under heavy rainfall.” It was already. Rock filled a waterway. Douglas Firs had been fallen and left. In his report, Kelly wrote: “The right of way contained numerous examples of work practices that caused, or have the potential to cause environmental impacts beyond what can be reasonably expected. That used to be a no-no under the Forestry Act. Where the hell are the regulators doing their job – the DFO, the B.C. Dept. of Lands, Forests and Natural Resources?” Kelly’s observations didn’t end at Burke Mountain. The next day he visited clearing near Stave Lake, where logs were “dumped into the roadside drainage channel to a culvert,” and found “improperly installed screening to minimize silting in streams.” Again, Kelly observed “vegetation and duff layer had been removed by an excavator used to pile the debris for burning.” A dry autumn made it a fire hazard, says Kelly, who predicted silted creeks would drain into Hayward Lake Reservoir. Hydro has refused to meet with all stakeholders at once, offering talks with individuals instead. Kelly calls that approach “divide and conquer,” a way “to divert discussion from his observations.” He wants the district to arrange a group tour to see what he did firsthand, and find solutions to real problems. Stott says any decision to do that is in the hands of council, which, with reduced environmental oversight by senior governments, means more work for municipalities, and stakeholders alike. Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

Upscale slums Chuck Phelps · Abbotsford, British Columbia: Re: We need to stop suburban sprawl (Cycling). As usual, no one ever looks at the quality of life we build by cramming as many people as we can get into as little space as possible.

The U.S. has a much larger population than Canada and there are places there where no one looks at a house that has less than an acre of land. Yes, if everyone wants to live in the same acre, their standard of living will suffer. But, please, let’s not sell this as the ultimate living experience. It is, at best, upscale slum living.

dmit it, you probably caught your breath for a moment when you reached into your mailbox and grasped that brown envelope from B.C. Assessment in your fingers. In newsrooms large and small across the province, the press Commentary release announcing Mario Bartel this year’s assessment information arrived in email inboxes on Jan. 2 like manna from heaven. That’s because the days around the Christmas and New Year’s holidays are amongst the slowest for news. Most people are taking a break from their usual concerns, and civic officials and bureaucrats don’t return calls because they’re away. And editors know, in these dog days, nothing attracts eyeballs like stories about lavish real estate and how everyone’s property investment measures up. B.C. Assessment, bless them, does its very best to help that process along. Their 10 regional offices prepare no fewer than 42 news releases that break down the assessment rolls to more specific geographical areas so newsrooms and readers can easily access the information that’s most relevant to them.

That’s in addition to the two fact sheets and backgrounders that provide general information about assessments in the province and the assessment process, the eight charts and graphs that plot the various property trends around the province and the 11 “greatest hits” that list the topvalued residential properties for British Columbia and each of the regions. It’s an extraordinary communications effort that is the culmination of the work that goes in every year to create the assessment roll. B.C. Assessment’s 632 full-time employees in 16 offices spend the year poring over data from various sources, including photographs, footprint sketches, location, amenities in the area, plans for new development and market demand to assign a value to 1,954,445 properties in the province. The company even has specially equipped vans stationed in some communities that drive along every street snapping photos of every property. More than 87 per cent of those properties are classified as residential. The decisions assessors make touch everyone in the pocketbook one way or another, as regional and municipal taxing authorities apply their property tax rate to assessed values to come up with your annual property tax bill. Even if you’re a renter and never paid much mind to assessment notices or property tax rates, a portion of your monthly rent cheque will end up going to help your building’s own-

er pay property taxes. This year’s assessment roll will be the basis upon which more than $6.2 billion is raised in property taxes, money that helps pay for schools, local roads, municipal services like garbage collection, and sewers and recreational facilities. Heck, a bit of that money even goes to pay for B.C. Assessment, which is supported by property tax levies. In fact, in 2011 the assessment process cost each property $40.25. Of course, B.C. Assessment doesn’t generate all this information just to make it easy for newspapers to fill space. Tim Morrison, the company’s acting manager of communications, says it’s all about making as much data readily available so property owners can easily understand their assessment. That’s why only about 1.2 per cent of assessments were appealed last year, down from 1.5 per cent a few years ago. “Every year we have to work at reinventing ourselves as a place of information,” says Morrison. And the hunger for that information seems insatiable, says Morrison. “People are curious. There are certain things people talk about and real estate is one of those in B.C. It’s heightened when we release the assessment rolls every year.” Mario Bartel is a journalist with the Burnaby-New Westminster NewsLeader, a Black Press affiliate.

Maple Ridge’s grand plan for its downtown continues to unfold as the departure of one business is filled by a larger chain, while a long-standing cornerstone of the downtown undergoes a facelift. While MJM Furniture at Dewdney Trunk Road and 224th Street has closed, the empty 16,800 sq.-foot space soon will be filled by a new PetSmart, a continent-wide chain with more than 1,200 locations. The new location in Maple Ridge Square is across the road from the Club 16, Trevor Linden fitness centre, which just opened in the former Maple Ridge library. A PetSmart representative wouldn’t confirm the location, 22441 Dewdney Trunk Road. However, “Maple Ridge is an area we are currently looking at and we are hoping to join your community in the not too distant future.” It is expected to open in late summer or fall. At the same time, a few blocks south on 224th Street and Lougheed Highway, the Bank of Montreal building is getting an exterior refit and new windows, mainly to improve its weather proofing to protect the interior,

Renovations are underway at the former MJM Furniture location in Maple Ridge Square, across from the new Club 16 gym on Dewdney Trunk Road. which was renovated in 2012. Branch manager Jayne Westwood said the project should be done by March and the bank will stay open in the meantime. New windows and signage will also upgrade the appearance of the branch, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in Maple Ridge a few years ago. The building was constructed in 1933 at the Lougheed Highway location, followed by a major demolition, expansion and rebuild in the same spot in 1956. New names are also appearing in west Maple Ridge. Council just OK’d a new building just off Lougheed Highway, allowing it to become a Langley Farm Market. The produce store, on the site of a former night club, will

be 11,000 sq. feet and will have a wide canopy extending towards the sidewalk on 207th Street, improving things for pedestrians, says a staff report. In the same area, the former Pizza Hut location on Lougheed Highway at 208th Street is also under renovations – to become a Browns Socialhouse restaurant, part of a chain with locations throughout B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. Sandy Blue, economic development manager for Maple Ridge, said the interest in the downtown is encouraging. “It’s creating a real nice vibe that people are really proud of. “Now, every day, there’s evidence of more things going on.” Blue said some businesses may not welcome a large chain such as Target setting up in the

downtown – the store opened in Haney Place Mall in November – but that large stores draw people to the area, creating a destination for shoppers. Blue said a possible new shopping mall in the Albion flats at 105th Street and Lougheed Highway shouldn’t hurt the downtown because it now has enough momentum and development to continue to grow. Metro Vancouver’s regional plan identifies downtown Maple Ridge as one its eight town centres. Shopping services in Albion could be complementary to what’s offered in the downtown, she said. The District of Maple Ridge is currently negotiating a land swap for property in the area with Smart Centres mall development company.

Maple Ridge council gave a unanimous support Tuesday to apply to become a city. Council approved the idea and will use the alternative approval process, in which 10 per cent or more of voters have to object in order to force a referendum. A staff report notes that municipalities must have populations of more than 5,000 to be considered a city and that Maple Ridge’s population is now at 77,402. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin favours becoming a city, providing it doesn’t cost much. Staff says total cost will be about $3,000, including the cost of holding the alternative approval process. Economic development manager Sandy Blue said the process could take a few months

and could coincide with Maple Ridge’s 140 anniversary next September. “My sense is that people are generally supportive.”

WCE expansion way down the track While local mayors say they want to push for RapidBus on Lougheed Highway to hook into the new Evergreen SkyTrain, you’ll see no changes to the West Coast Express commuter rail service anytime soon. The agreement between CP Rail and TransLink allowing the latter to use CP’s track expires Oct. 31, 2015. Any expansion of the rail service to Vancouver requires TransLink negotiating more track time in the new agree-

ment. But talks still haven’t started. And they’re not likely to start for another year. Normally, CP Rail won’t start negotiating such agreements until eight or nine months before the renewal date, said spokesman Kevin Hrysak. West Coast Express service currently is limited to five westbound trains from Mission to Vancouver in the morning and five returning in the evening. “Negotiations haven’t started,” added Jiana Ling, TransLink spokesperson. Contract terms or track rental costs can’t be disclosed during negotiations, she added. Also confidential is a TransLink feasibility study on expansion of the popular service that

has been running since 1995. “We’re not able to release it yet,” Ling said. TransLink announced the study September 2011, partly as preparations for the negotiations. That study was expected to take a year and was to include how the commuter rail service could support the new Evergreen SkyTrain line in Coquitlam that will be built by 2016. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said he hasn’t advocated for West Coast Express expansion since the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and added that it could be a decade before there are a dozen train trips a day. The federal government has passed legislation making it easier to negotiate with CP Rail for track usage.

Former food bank director passes away by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Former Friends in Need Food Bank executive-director Joanne Olson died Tuesday in Vancouver General Hospital, nine days after suffering a stroke. While Olson, 52, had been battling cancer for the past two years, her husband Dan said it was the former condition that caused her death. Joanne was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in January 2012 and had been through two rounds of chemotherapy and was facing her third. The last three months had been particularly tough. But Dan wanted to make the point that his wife’s death had nothing to do with her cancer or chemotherapy she received. He talked to her doctor and was told that neither caused the stroke. “This was one of those things that if she’d been walking around perfectly healthy, could have hit her. It’s not related,” he said. “People in the fight against cancer, they have enough on their minds without adding one more irrational fear

She wasn’t able to speak after the stroke, although she could hear and communicated by squeezing her hands. She was facing the rest of her life in a care home, unable to communicate. “She was not suffering or in pain.” Joanne had been in charge of the food bank since September 2009 and only retired

completely a year ago. During her first round of chemotherapy, she continued to work at the food bank, going in after hours so she could protect her immune system, then resigned when she was facing the second round. Her condition was recounted on Facebook so family and friends across the country could be kept informed. “It turned out to be a pretty public sharing of personal time.” Dan and his two children kept a bedside vigil around the clock. In the last few days, nearing exhaustion, he

asked Facebook friends to send their favourite tunes so he could share them with Joanne via his iPhone. She heard every one, he added. The response “just rejuvenated me,” he added. Dan, a former federal Liberal candidate, is coping with GuillanBarré syndrome, a rare disorder that attacks the nervous system and can cause paralysis. Dan pointed out he and Joanne noticed that many people identify themselves through their jobs. She was a human rights social activist. “She never compromised. She looked after a lot of people.” The last song she was listening to was Old Rugged Cross, by June Carter and Johnny Cash. There was nothing dramatic. She just stopped breathing, he added. Service arrangements haven’t been finalized, but Dan wants to ensure family in Saskatchewan and Manitoba can see it so he’s live streaming the service to the Lutheran church in Flowing Well, Sask., built by Joanne’s great grandfather. Another TV will be set up in Winnipeg, where Joanne grew up.

A new local program is offering a lifeline to families and individuals in dire need. The Maple Ridge Community Chest initiative was launched in November by the Maple Ridge Community Foundation in partnership with The Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Katzie Community Network. “It’s to help people in those last situations right before they continue that cycle of poverty,” explained Vicki Kipps, executive director of Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Community Services. The chest program offers one-time grants to those in crisis. Maybe it’s helping somebody to pay a damage deposit or putting tires on their car

to keep them going to work, or helping somebody purchase a piece of equipment necessary for work. “Those situations where it’s like, gosh, if they could just get some financial help in the moment, that would prevent the whole cycle of poverty from spiraling out of control,” said Kipps adding the chest program is are not duplicating existing resources in the community, but filling gaps. Robert Prince, coorganizer of the Community chest program, says each situation will be evaluated individually by community network organizations involved in the pilot project. There is a checklist of criteria that those in need have to meet in order to qualify for assistance.

She and Prince want to emphasize the need for community involvement in the project with ideas for fundraisers to help their neighbours and fill the community chest. “We want people to think about their community, we want them to do something for their community. We don’t care how big it is,” explained Prince, who put forth ideas of collecting pennies, selling lemonade or simply putting a collection box in the office. Local artist Tammy Routley recently held an open house that raised $442 for the community chest. Plans are currently underway for a special day in March for people to come together to drop off their donations and share their fundraising stories. Until then, donate at http://www.mrcf.ca/ community-chest.html or contact the Maple Ridge Community Foundation at 604466-3312 or email execassist@mrcf.ca.

The financial incentives are intended to reduce development costs for qualifying projects within the Town Centre which will help achieve goals and objectives identified by the community through the Smart Growth on the Ground Initiative and the Town Centre Area Plan.

Even this criteria will be evaluated until the end of June, when the pilot project ends, to see what needs to be changed. Since the launch, the fund has been used to help three families, one with a rental situation, one with medical equipment and the last with household maintenance. The rental situation involved a young family with children, a potential abuser and a need to relocate immediately. Even though income assistance programs would help with ongoing rent issues, it took a month for them to kick in. The parent needed first month’s rent to tie the family over. “It stops that parent from selling off their belongings to try to pay for rent and it keeps that landlord, who was very supportive and positive. It keeps that relationship very positive because that landlord is then paid for November,” explained Kipps.

Recently, I asked our residents at Greystone Manor to tell me about how they reached their decision to move in to our senior’s residence. Below are some of their responses, I hope this will be helpful to those considering a move.

What became the most important benefit to you after moving to Greystone Manor? “Having meals prepared and having my own washer/dryer in my suite.”

Maple Ridge MP Randy Kamp has reading material for awhile after receiving a pile of questions at his pre-budget consultation Wednesday. Hammond resident James Rowley wanted to know about cost cutting in Fisheries and Oceans Canada and how much the effects of climate change cost Canadians, while veteran politician Craig Speirs grilled the government over its jobkilling cuts and said the old personal medicalmarijuana grow laws have been the government’s most successful job-creation program. Kristin Krimmel though praised the feds, for creating the Parliamentary Budget Office to watch government spending. While the questions ranged from seniors struggling on pensions and limited budgets while costs constantly climbed, Kamp focused on government finances. The federal budget is expected in February. “We’re not immune to global economic events so we have to be careful we manage our economy well,” he told a crowd of about 50 in Thomas Haney secondary. Kamp said growth in the gross domestic product hasn’t met the 3.5 per cent predicted for this year. Still, Canada is producing more jobs as a percentage of its gross domestic product than other western countries while government spending as a percentage of GDP is supposed to drop to 13.5 per cent from 16 per cent in 2009. “So, we’re on track to a balanced budget in 2015,” Kamp said. One questionner said government layoffs were intended to hurt unions, while but Kamp said many layoffs were due to attrition. “We feel that’s what we’re required to do.” The Conservative MP is also parliamentary secretary to Fisheries Minister Gail Shea and said that his own department, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, has gone through three rounds of cost cutting; first, implementing a five-per-cent cut, then looking at the programs that remained and imposing 10 per cent cuts. The third round involved reducing the de-

‘Jassi lived in fear of her family, bank accounts frozen’ Extradition from front

During the extradition hearing, friends and co-workers of Jassi testified that she lived in fear of her family, was followed by her uncle and cousin for months and kept under constant watch even while she studied at a beauty school. Jassi’s family froze her bank accounts after they learned about her marriage. Jassi told Deb Devos, a teacher at her beauty school, her family wanted her to marry a much older and wealthy man. Jassi managed to escape the grip of her family and returned to India in May 2000, with the intention of bringing her husband to Canada. While in India, however, the 25-year-old and her husband were attacked by a gang of men. Jassi’s body was found a day later in a ditch, her throat slit. Her husband survived the attack. Sidhu and Badesha are accused of orchestrating Jassi’s murder and the attempted murder of her husband from the family’s Maple Ridge home. Sidhu and Badesha appeared via

Bear hit by WCE train The last West Coast Express train out of Mission station hit a bear en route to Vancouver Thursday. Jiana Ling of TransLink said train was delayed for

video during four days of final arguments this week. The pair have been in custody since January 2012. The bulk of the Crown’s case was based on evidence Indian prosecutors are expected to present at trial, but was bolstered by testimony from Jassi’s co-workers and friends. In 2005, seven men were convicted on murder charges in India, but three had their convictions overturned on appeal. Jim Longridge was the principal of Pitt Meadows secondary when Jassi graduated and lobbied for years to get police to pursue a murder investigation. He attended portions of the extradition hearing, which began last May. “[The mother and uncle’s] involvement is pretty clear to me. Let’s hope the judge feels the same way,” said Longridge. “You can only be hopeful. Unfortunately, there has been a 14-year delay. My fingers are crossed. I’m looking forward to hearing the ruling. I want to be there, but I won’t be cheering because nothing is going to bring her back.”

Land that used to be set aside for a high school is now slated for a new subdivision, after the school board said it doesn’t have the money. The 4.4 hectares (11 acres) is at 24152 112th Ave., in north Albion, where the district has created an area for density bonusing. In return for building smaller lots of 371 sq. m, allowing a

www.westgateacupuncture.com

greater number of units, the builder will pay the district $3,100 for each of the 22 lots. That will generate about $68,200 that will go into a fund that will be used to pay for amenities such as trails or parks. Under the district’s pilot density bonusing program for that area, builders can increase the density of their residential projects provided they pay a fee for each lot. It’s been four years since School District No. 42 said it no longer needed the location. Instead, the school district owns two lots at 24137-104th Ave. ,which it intends to use for a south Albion elementary school. The school district is currently

in the middle of a facility review process, which also will involve the public, and which will determine its projects over the next several years. The property on 112th Avenue also contains a steep slope and Seigel Creek on the western edge of the property and will become a district conservation area property. A developer’s information meeting will take place and comments from the school district also will be invited before second reading as part of the rezoning process. The official community plan also must be amended to change land use from institutional to park use and residential.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

This hi new Q50 llooks k great, has a wonderful interior, power to spare and solid handling dynamics. Zack Spencer

Visit the Q50 photo gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

2014 Infiniti Q50 challenges the old order Infiniti has had a bit of an identity crisis over the past year with a wholesale change in the way it names its products. Gone is the JX crossover, it’s called the QX60 now and the G 37 sedan has been replaced with the Q50 sedan. Q signifies for cars and QX for crossovers or SUVs. The outgoing G37 was already a very worthy on-road performer but a bit too simplistic in the inside. Now, Infiniti has taken things up a notch with the Q50, adding a dynamic look, sumptuous interior and class leading technology. Looks It could be argued that the current BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class are a bit conservative, while this Q50 and the major competitor, Lexus IS, are much edgier. This is especially true with the front grille. The rest of the Q50 is nicely sculpted, with flowing lines and an almost elegant rear end. Sold as a base model, sport trim, all wheel drive (AWD), premium, and even a hybrid, there is a broad market for this sedan. Starting at $37,500 and ramping up to the AWD sport model at $49,950, there is a substantial discount with the Q50 when you compare it to a similarly equipped BMW. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but most of the higher trim levels are equipped with 19-inch wheels. The car seen here is the AWD premium model starting at $43,400. Inside The Q50 centre console is very attractive with two screens placed for radio functions and the second for the

handling dynamics. On price, the BMW 328i AWD is the closest and starts at $46,200 but is equipped with a 241hp 4-cylinder. The direct competitor on power is the much more expensive 335is AWD. The Lexus IS350 AWD is another premium offering from Japan, and it starts at a very competitive $44,000. As much as the Japanese automakers like to challenge the German makers, they really end up competing with each other. Yes, this is a worthy car but the one thing you cannot factor into the buying decision is the badge appeal that storied brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi provide.

OF THE WEEK:

What is your favourite brand of car and what model specifically do you like? Please explain why you have made that decision.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Go to drivewayBC.ca to submit your answer.

Safety Tip: When extreme winter road conditions hit, it’s a good idea to think about whether you even need to get behind the wheel. If you have the option, consider public transit or carpool with some who has a vehicle prepared for the conditions. Also consider leaving for work just a little later to allow crews to clear the roads.

I’m starting off with the Accord because it’s a cool car. The current generation has so much going for it and definitely has developed more personality in the redesign.

has an abundance of pep. They’re not cheap, though. You could argue that a Mazda MX-5 is a better value, but it’s still loads of fun. • Dodge Challenger: base MSRP, $26,995 If you’re driving a Dodge Challenger, you’re getting noticed. You don’t even need to have the grunt and roar of the SRT’s 6.4L V8 HEMI to turn heads. Inside and out, this two-door has style and power. The base SXT trim comes equipped with a 3.6L V6 and 305 horsepower. • Kia Forte Koup: base MSRP, $20,550 For just over $20K, the Kia Forte Koup is a solid value. And it’s not a bad looking car either. Inside, the interior is well finished and isn’t cheap. Furthermore, you have many great standard amenities that come with the base model, such as 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, heated front seats, remote keyless entry, air conditioning and more. • VW GTI: base MSRP, $29,375. The three-door VW GTI is one of my favourite cars. The front-wheel, German engineered bundle of excitement has poise and pizazz, along with a fabulous interior and a tried and tested engine. What’s great about the GTI is that it works for all ages. You could be 16 and driving it, or 60, and you’d still look good. You wouldn’t look out of place and people would give you nods of approval. Granted, the current generation is on its way out and the seventh generation (2014 model year) is coming soon. So if you want a killer deal on a 2013, now is about as good a time as any.

he 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid is on a quest – to get your family where you need to go on as little fuel as possible. • Looks: One of the biggest changes last year was the switch from body-on-frame to a unibody construction. This reduced the overall weight, which makes a big difference on fuel economy. The shape and design characteristics of this truck have changed to smoother lines, and more aerodynamic. I remember the first Pathfinder introduced in 1986 and aimed at capturing some of the Toyota 4-Runner buyers. It looked promising, but never completely took off. I think the focus was more on the off-road, when it should have been more on-road with the ability to travel off-road. This version has done this, taking design cues and comfort from the Nissan Rogue and creating a larger crossover capable of transporting seven. • Cab: My tester was the Platinum edition. It came equipped with leather seats with eight-way power adjustability, four-way power for the front passenger, EZ flex seating system with second row 60/40 split fold-flat bench seat, and third row 50/50 split fold flat reclining bench seat. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is heated and is a nice feature. There is plenty of wood tone trim, but it is not overdone, giving it a rich feel. Bose audio system with 13 speakers, AM/FM/CD, SiriusXM, auxiliary audio input jack, USB connection, streaming audio via Bluetooth, steering wheel mounted audio controls and speed sensitive volume control are just some of the comforts you will find in the Pathfinder Platinum. The around-view monitor uses four cameras to create a composite image from above and displays it on the touch screen monitor. This helps show the vehicle’s position relative to the lines around the parking space and guides you in easily. • Safety first: Nissan’s advanced airbag system includes dual-stage front airbags, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side impact, and roof-mounted curtain-side impact airbags with rollover sensor. Traction control and vehicle dynamic control are standard on all models. • Power: The engine is a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder with a 15kw, power regenerating electric motor, powered by lithium-ion cells and a dual clutch system that transfers power from the electric motor and the engine. This

system generates 250 hp. The transmission is Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) The All-mode 4x4 I-system allows select ability between 2WD, auto, or 4WD

All in the details at Boffo Development’s Adagio By Kerry Vital

Boffo Developments is bringing hotel-style sophistication to South Surrey with its newest development, Adagio. With a variety of floorplans and amazing features, there are plenty of things that set the project apart, including an amazing community courtyard with trees, paths and garden plots. The one-, two- and three-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with nine-foot ceilings (15 feet on the top floor),

expansive windows and large terraces and patios. Boffo is known for high-quality work, but it’s one room in the home that really draws people in: the kitchen. The natural granite or quartz slab countertops are matched with a complementary backsplash. The under-cabinet and recessed lighting easily illuminates your tasks, and the stainless-steel appliances and 40-inch upper cabinets are perfectly situated. Large kitchen islands feature a wine chiller and tons of space for food preparation or casual dining.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

The bathrooms are luxurious and soothing, with either an oversize shower with frameless glass enclosure or an oversize soaker tub/shower combination. The ensuite includes built-in shower niches and a radiant heated floor to make you feel like you’re entering an exclusive spa, a feeling only magnified by the custom suspended vanity and natural granite or quartz countertops, complemented by a matching backsplash. Residents at Adagio will find everything they can possibly imagine on their front doorstep. From dining at one of the delicious local restaurants to shopping at nearby Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners, nothing is out of reach. Leisure and recreation is also close by, with several parks, pools, arenas and clubs in the neighbourhood, as well as White Rock beach. On-site, homeowners at Adagio will find a residents lounge with chef ’s demonstration kitchen, double-sided fireplace, televisions, pool tables and a large garden and patio area. There is also a large fitness centre with a steam room. For more information, visit www.adagiobyboffo.ca or call 604-531-6659.

Tate on Howe, a new 40-storey tower in downtown Vancouver, will be close to everything that the city has to offer, from the nightlife in Yaletown to the shopping and dining on Robson Street and entertainment on Granville Street.

Downtown living at Tate on Howe By Kerry Vital

Artistic downtown living has come to Vancouver with Tate on Howe, a new condominium development from Bonds Group of Companies that offers not only gorgeous one- and two-bedroom homes but also an amazing collection and amenities and a location that can’t be easily beat. “We’ve just begun offering homes to

the public and are very pleased with the response we’ve received,” says Tracy McRae, vice-president of development for Bonds Group of Companies. “Vancouver has a very competitive landscape and well-educated buyers; they know quality when they see it.” The exterior has been designed by Merrick Architecture, and will be a striking part of the Vancouver skyline. The 40-storey tower will maximize water and city views, with huge windows designed to let the light pour in. Inside, you’ll find high ceilings (8’6”, with 9’ on the 34th floor and above) and spacious floorplans designed for comfortable living. The kitchens are fit for any aspiring chef, with imported European cabinetry systems by Eggersmann, chic polished-edge quartz countertops and a dramatic iridescent mosaic tile backsplash. The stainless-steel appliances include a Miele gas cooktop and wall oven.

The bathrooms hold their own Eggersmann European cabinetry, complemented by quartz countertops and a deep full-size soaker tub. Select homes feature separate showers and his-and-hers sinks in the ensuite. “Each of our homes pair thoughtful design with artistic flair and will truly be an oasis in the city,” McRae says. Homeowners will have access to the Tate Clubhouse, an amenities space that holds a fireside lounge and library with over-height ceilings, social room with a chef ’s kitchen and formal dining area, fitness facilities, a billiards room, 12-seat surround sound theatre and business facilities such as a meeting room and conference room. There will also a terrace garden on the fifth floor with a water feature and sheltered courtyards. Residents will also be part of High Street of the Arts, a 10,000-square-foot art space

dedicated to the City of Vancouver. “Featuring four storeys and an open concept design, we are very excited to see how the City uses this space to improve the arts and culture opportunities in the city,” says McRae. “This dedication to the arts is a theme throughout Tate on Howe from the luxuriantly designed common areas to the smallest of details.” Tate on Howe is within walking distance to the night life in Yaletown, the shopping and dining on Robson Street, entertainment on Granville Street, and the beaches, marinas and seawall at Stanley Park. Homes start at $268,000. For more information, check out tateonhowe.com, call 604-568-8283 or visit the presentation centre at 100-1265 Howe Street, open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.

Thriving on nothing but thin air

By Mike Lascelle

have a request to politicians of all stripes who are under the mistaken impression that average British Columbians have magic wallets and purses that mysteriously replenish whenever the money gets a bit scarce: stop taxing us to death.

I recently took a few minutes to calculate all the increases for 2013 and 2014 and was shocked by what I found: B.C. Hydro going up by nine per cent (average of $96 a year); Fortis B.C. natural gas delivery rate up by 0.5 per cent average of $32 a year); our ‘free’ medical or MSP payments going up by 3.9 per cent for families (about $54 a year); ICBC basic coverage increasing by 4.9 per cent (average of $36 a year); Maple Ridge property taxes and services increasing by 3.75 per cent; Port Mann Bridge toll increasing by 100 per cent, or $1.50 each way: B.C. transit two per cent increase for our ‘token’ bus service; and let’s not forget the 17-cent subsidy we pay on every litre of gas, let alone the weekly 10-cent-a-litre weekend price fluctuation that the gas companies like to spring on us. These increases may seem small by themselves, but what they really amount to is nickel and diming us to death – and I haven’t even touched on the increased cost of putting food on the table (up 16.1 per cent from 20082012). Thankfully, Mother Nature is no politician and does not expect us to live on thin air, but she has created a few plants which seem to do just that. Tillandsia, or air plants are bromeliads that generally live as epiphytes on trees and rocks in the wild, although there are a few terrestrial species. They absorb both nutrients and moisture through their leaves and are not required to be potted in soil – which makes them rather handy for decorating indoors. Tillandsia are found in the southern U.S., West Indies, Central to South America and I remember seeing beautiful wild specimens in

(Clockwise) Air Plant plaque, air plant Christmas ornament, and tillandsia on a wooden stand. .

Key West, Florida and the jungles of Belize and Guatemala. While air plants have been available for quite some time, they seem to be enjoying a bit of a revival lately, with collectors seeking out the rarer species and nurseries finding new ways of displaying them. By way of example, this past Christmas there were clear glass ornaments with tillandsia inside to decorate the tree with, as well as indoor wreath arrangements. Small ornamental trees of clustered air plants and even vertical plaques accented with moss, bark and tillandsia are also available and ready to hang on the wall or sit on your side table. Air plants are relatively easy to take care of and only require bright or filtered natural

light, a light misting or watering (some prefer to submerge or wet the plant to run-off) three times a week (unless your home is very humid) and an average temperature of about 70 F (50-90 is the usual range). Despite the fact that they appear to thrive on nothing but thin air, you can fertilize once a month using a very dilute water-soluble fertilizer (mix at only 25 per cent of the recommended rate, provided it has no copper trace elements (which are toxic to bromeliads). While fertilization is not required, it will help to bring your tillandsia into bloom, and they have beautiful red, pink and purple flowers, depending on the species. If I had my way, every city council chamber and B.C. government office would have a display

Burrards back with NLL clubs

Boxing icon passes away Maple Ridge boxing coach and youth mentor John Skanks died on Monday at the age of 85. Skanks is best known as the founder and head coach of the Maple Ridge Boxing Club. He and his wife Carol would open the boxing club twice a week, and he trained fighters who competed internationally, with a focus on developing character. He was a onetime brawler and then a competitive boxer who became the executive director of Boxing B.C. “There’s something about this game, it makes a gentleman of you,” Skanks said. He has been inducted in to the Ridge Meadows Hall of Fame, won B.C. Boxing’s Harold Mann Lifetime Achievement Award, was Citizen of the Year in 1995 A celebration of life will be held today at the Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel, 11969-216th St. at 4 p.m., followed by a reception at the boxing club at 11925 Haney Pl.

Captain’s all-star Oddy-ssey by Neil Corbe tt staff reporter

Ridge Meadows Flames team captain Travis Oddy won player of the game honours in the Junior B all-star tilt. Oddy scored a hat trick and added and assist as his Harold Brittain Conference team downed the Tom Shaw Conference 10-8 in the all-star game on Monday night in Abbotsford. He was joined there by teammates Dale Howell and Tyler Read. Howell also had a goal in the game. Read, who has been unbeatable for stretches of the season, allowed four goals on 20 shots – a reasonable performance for an all-star game, which typically operate like a breakaway drill. Howell, a 17-year-old from Hope, has 10 goals and 32 points in 31 games this season. Oddy, a 20-year-old from Abbotsford, has 18 goals and 31 points. They are ranked 15th and 17th in Pacific International Junior Hockey League scoring Read, 19 and from White Rock, has faced a lot off rubber this year, and is second in the PJHL in both shots at 810 and saves at 730. His record is nine wins, 12 losses and two ties, a 3.39 goals against average and

Doug Abbott/PIJHL

Ridge Meadows Flames captain Travis Oddy scored a hat trick in the PIJHL all-star game. 0.901 save percentage. Those were the only three players from Ridge to make the Brittain team, while the Aldergrove Kodiaks had five, Mission City Outlaws and Port Moody Panthers one each, and the host Abbotsford Pilots eight. The player of the game for the Tom Shaw team was John Wesley, as the Richmond Sockeye had two goals and two assists.

The Flames are back in action tonight, hosting the league-leading Aldergrove Kodiaks at Planet Ice at 7:30 p.m. • Marco Ballarin was the Flames leading scorer and a surefire all-star until he moved up to the B.C. Hockey League with the Prince George Spruce Kings. Having played 10 games, Ballarin has three goals and five points.

Incoming Maple Ridge Burrards head coach Chris Gill will be in the stands at the Langley Events Centre tonight (Friday) as the Vancouver Stealth take on the Colorado Mammoth in National Lacrosse League action. Obviously the former lacrosse standout loves the game, and is a season ticket holder. But he will also be keeping a close eye on players who have roster spots with his Western Lacrosse Association (WLA) team, as he tries to improve on last year’s 8-10 season. “It’s good to see how players are progressing,” said Gill, noting that both defender Creighton Reid and forward Joel Delgarno are part of the Mammoth lineup, and he gets a chance to see them playing at the top level of the game. Delgarno had a relatively quiet year with the Burrards, with eight goals and 26 points, and has a goal and five assists in two games with the Mammoth. Next weekend will bring the Edmonton Rush, and last year’s Burrards team captain Jarrett Davis. WLA scoring champion and the Burrards top asset, Curtis Dickson will arrive in Langley with the Calgary Roughnecks on Feb. 15. He is off to a slow start this season, with five points through two games. Last year ‘Superman’ Dickson put up 58 goals and 103 points to win the WLA scoring title and league MVP honours. Nobody has scored that many goals in a season since 2000, when 61 were netted by another Burrard – Chris Gill. Gill will be scouting players, but he also loves the NLL game. “In the NLL, the rules have changed a little bit, where they’re trying to push the pace,” he explained. Unlike the controlled pace of the WLA, where players have a 30-second shot clock, the NLL gives players only eight seconds from the time they get control of the ball in their end to move it over centre. There’s more charging up the floor, more hits, more defences pressing, more turnovers and just more action. Gill likes the Langley location, and sees the Vancouver franchise as having a better shot of success playing in the Valley. “It’s central. It isn’t exactly a hotbed of lacrosse in Vancouver – all of the growth is in Tri-City, Maple Ridge and Langley. It’s the perfect spot for it [the NLL team].”

OBITUARIES

GRAYDON Maurice Manuel 1921 - 2013 We have lost a true pioneer of the Maple Ridge community. Maurice or ‘Cowboy’ as he was known by so many, passed away peacefully at Burnaby General Hospital. He served his country during WW ll as a navy gunner, an experience he never forgot and often talked about. He spent his final years enjoying his time at the George Derby Centre for retired veterans in Burnaby. It became a real home for Maurice and he often expressed his gratitude to all the staff who took such good care of him and did so with so much compassion. He was a true friend of Dr. Bob and Bill W. and never hesitated to share their message of experience, strength and hope when the opportunity arose. He became acquainted with Maple Ridge Treatment Centre founder Wilf Jordaine and his fondness for the Centre grew over the years. He was instrumental in the creation of The One Way Club which has provided addicts in recovery with a place to go for socializing, attending AA and NA meetings and sharing the philosophy of AA. He was truly an ‘uptown’ gentleman who will be missed by all. A celebration of Maurice’s life will be held at The One Way Club on North Avenue in Maple Ridge on Sunday January 19th at 2:00pm. ‘Rest easy sailor, you’ve done your duty.’

KNIGHT, Thomas L. (Tom) Tom was born on Oct. 24th 1940 and passed away Jan. 8 2014 in Kamloops. The first child of now deceased parents Thomas Leslie Knight Sr. and Ethelmary Ann Knight. In 1945 they made their home in Port Coquitlam where they resided for many years. Tom was a tremendous ball player with a rocket (although somewhat erratic) arm, the speed of a gazelle and the tenacity of a wolverine.’Take no prisoners’ was his motto. His competitive spirit however was somewhat tempered by a wry sense of humour. Tom still has many friends in Port Coquitlam, who will assuredly reminisce over his many escapades. Tom played Little League, Babe Ruth, Connie Mack out of Blue Mountain Park, and for Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge in the Dewdney League. Tom finished his ball playing days in Golden B.C. where he was considered somewhat of a local hero. Tom attended school at James Park, (when it was a four room school), upstairs at the Aggie Hall, Central School, Viscount Alexander and Port Moody High. Tom is survived by his brothers Dan (Gail) of Maple Ridge and Len (Sheila) of Kamloops, aunt Marge McMillen, the matriarch of the family (she’s 103), and cousins. Tom often expressed regret over the limited amount of time he spent with his niece Glenda and nephews Daren, Landon, Jeff and Jeremy and their families. He had a special place in his heart for his grand nieces and nephews. Tom’s fondness for animals, particularly dogs was another one of his many attributes. We are saddened by his passing but take comfort in the fact that his suffering is finally over. Memorial to be announced at a later date.

March 26, 1946 - Dec. 27, 2013

At tea time on the afternoon of December 27, 2013, our Dad peacefully passed away with his daughters at his side and his dearly devoted dog Lily nestled on his chest. Those who knew him can appreciate the difficulty of defining such a dynamic personality with words. A gifted story teller, weaver of words, always engaging, sometimes amusing, persistently controversial, Nick reveled in evoking a reaction in everyone he met. A Professor of Sociology for 37 years, students would always be captivated by the energy and passion he brought to every lecture. Nick had many great loves, the foremost being his wife of 35 years, Lou-Anne, who passed 6 years prior. An ardent lover of dogs he held a particular affection for his Sebastian, Winnie, Calvin, Cleo, Roxy and Roady all who brought him great joy and companionship. He is survived by his daughters: Nicole (Mike), Meghan, Cari, Tori (Scott), “acquired” daughter Amy (Brad) and 4 granddaughters, Reagan, Ryley, Preston and Ashton. A Professor, Husband, Father and Grampy, our Dad made an impression in this world as we are sure he will in the next.

From the bottom of our hearts to the supporters of the very successful Christmas Haven 2013 – we couldn’t do it without you!

Dad, as the lyrics of your favorite song go we hope you:

“Dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow. Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to.” - Bob Dylan A “Cheers” will be held at his eldest daughters’ home at 22912 Foreman Drive, Maple Ridge on Saturday, Jan 25th, 2014 from 1-6pm.

In lieu of ﬂowers, please consider donations to the BC SPCA.
